<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A practical guide for the dedicated home gardener with descriptions and assessments of 245 genera of true annuals as well as plants that behave like annuals in USDA zones 1-7.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the tradition of his classic <i>Herbaceous Perennial Plants, </i> Allan M. Armitage has compiled descriptions and assessments of 245 genera of true annuals as well as plants that behave like annuals in USDA zones 1-7. Focusing on identifying the plants, successful culture, and their primary garden attributes, Armitage discusses 279 species in detail and summarizes the distinguishing features of hundreds of cultivars, many of which he has tested himself. Classics like begonias and pelargoniums are juxtaposed with newcomers from Australia, and all are subject to Armitage's critical eye. <p/> This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A complete book about temporal plants that grow in this region. There are more than 100 photos, but the information is the primary reason to get this tome." --<i><b>The Washington Post </b></i> <p/> "True to form, Armitage's humor accompanies his sage advice throughout the text. I predict that this book will become holy writ on the subject of annuals. And I confess that when it comes to a book written by Allan Armitage, I buy it unhesitatingly for the authority associated with the name and then find out all about the subject within." --<i><b>Horticulture</b></i> <p/> "I have yet to see the perfect guide to annuals and tender perennials, but this new compendium by esteemed plantman Allan M. Armitage comes close." --<i><b>Fine Gardening</b></i> <br><br>
